There was a guy camped in front of the case when I was trying to get pics basically giving the entire history of GI JOE:RAH to the Poor Hasbro guy.

I hate those guys. I had to wait for one to stop giving the history of cosplay lightsaber fighting techniques, and offering his consulting services on FX lightsaber design to make them more duel-worthy, to Mark Boudreaux at CV.

Also, I should have tried to meet up with you, Paul. NYCC was really busy and I think I went in not prepared for it and got a little overwhelmed. It's like a SW Celebration on crack and roids.

I know the Terrordrome and Generals Joes got their sets from BBTS and they ordered as soon as the pre-orders went up. One of the guys that writes for another site, ENI maybe, got his early, also from BBTS. Maybe they shipped out the first waves early to the sites for review? I haven't really been on the Joe forums to see if others got them so, I dunno?

I probably won't buy them. I missed out/passed on so many exclusives since the 25th line ended that I no longer feel like a completist of this new stuff. However, I may buy a Zarana if I see one on ebay for cheap someday.

This makes up for not being able to find any new Joes out there... I'm just notoriously bad about not shipping my POL so they will probably sit there for a few months until I can find some other stuff. Oh well...Safe n Secure

got these sets today too - love them! the paint apps are great. I think my favorites from each pack are Road Pig (he's an easy pic) and probably Taurus. Taurus looks a lot better than I expected. I like everything about him but his knees. The don't match the sculpting on the legs so there is a slight articulation issue but I can forgive it.

Lowlight is awesome but they didn't give him a knife or whatever the heck it was from the POC version that is supposed to plug into his leg.

also, I broke the hose peg off Blowtorch's backpack while removing him from the package. not sure how that happened...
